HOMES: Residents get chance to air concerns over three schemes around Tickow Lane area

A PUBLIC meeting is set to be held in Shepshed next week to discuss proposals for hundreds of new homes in three areas around Tickow Lane.

Coun Christine Radford will chair the meeting at the Glenmore Centre, in Thorpe Road, from 7pm next Friday, July 12, which will primarily be a chance for residents to discuss any concerns about a detailed planning application for 85 houses at the junction of Anson Road and Tickow Lane.

The William Davis application already has outline planning permission but the developer has to give a more detailed application before building can take place.

Large copies of the application will be available for residents to study and discuss.

As well as the chance to view this application, there will also be a chance for residents to discuss further plans for Tickow Lane following two public exhibitions, which are being held this week.

The first was due to be held at Shepshed Community Centre, in Charnwood Road, last night (Thursday, July 4) to discuss proposals from Gladman Developments for around 215 homes at the back of Westroyd Care Home and the second will be held on behalf of William Davis at the same venue from 4pm-8pm on Monday, July 8, to show proposals for a residential scheme on land between Tickow Lane and Conway Drive.

Coun Radford said: “I’ve organised it because of the concerns people have about the amount of housing proposed to come around Shepshed.

“With the planning system on the computer it isn’t always easy to see the details and I always get large scale copies of the plans so people can come along, have a look and find out about how to share any concerns.”
